Lyle was born January 2, 1914, in Bear, Idaho to Earl and Jane Shelton. During her childhood, Lyle's family lived several places in Idaho and Washington. By the time Lyle was a teenager, the family had made a permanent home in Halfway, Oregon. Following high school, Lyle attended beauty college and later worked as a beauty operator in Boise, Idaho. After World War II, Lyle moved to Salt Lake City where she attended business college and worked as secretary. In 1947, Lyle married Keith Rasmussen in Salt Lake City. In the early 1950's the couple moved to San Francisco where Keith established a dental equipment company, and Lyle was an executive secretary for the Libby-McNeil company. For 40 years Lyle and Keith lived on Russian Hill with a great view of San Francisco Bay. Over the years, Lyle's love of San Francisco became a legacy that touched the lives of countless family members and friends who came to visit. Lyle also loved to travel with Keith on business trips whenever she could. They collected artifacts from their world travels and included beautiful music and literature among their most treasured possessions. In the early 1980's, Lyle and Keith established a second home overlooking Temple Square in Salt Lake City. They eventually moved the manufacturing company to Utah and Keith continued with that until his death in 1988. Lyle deeply missed her companion and the wonderful life they had together. She worked hard and carried on with his business, retiring at the age of 84. Lyle made a profound impression on all who knew her. Her elegant style and grace became her trademark. The twinkle in her eye was one indicator of her great sense of humor and keen wit. She was generous and down-to-earth, always appreciating those who demonstrated integrity and kindness. Lyle passed through extremely difficult challenges at times in her life. Lyle's dear and loyal friends, Parley and Ann Lloyd, have offered tremendous love and support to Lyle for the past 14 years. The three of them share a unique and eternal bond of friendship. Lyle was a lifetime member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She had strong faith and willingly served in various capacities as a church member. The last three years Lyle has shared a special and close companionship with Aaron and Sherie. Together with them, Lyle has been assisted by wonderful caregivers. We express sincere appreciation to them for their loving care in Lyle's final years. Lyle was preceded in death by her husband, parents, three sisters: Orpha Buchanan, Cora Bradford, and Laura Brunelle; and two brothers: Hyle Bradford and Boyd Shelton.
